Definition
法力 is a broad concept from Chinese Buddhism and myth—originally the power of Buddhist doctrine or dharma, but in modern fantasy, anime, and gaming it often refers to supernatural or magical power (mana). It's a noun and doesn't have a direct English single-word equivalent; 'magic' or 'spiritual power' are close depending on context.
n.
supernatural power (often from Buddhist cultivation or general magic/mystical ability)
